A True Story ---

Two weeks ago two elementary tarts in my homestead community were engaged in a high-torqued mental-spiritual-physical-psychological altercation that resulted in their being pulled apart.

On the face of it both kids shared the faces of pacific island heritages -- & each were blessed with polynesian surnames.

Says one Tart to the darker complexioned Tart -- "You F_ _ _ _ N*GGER .... blah, blah, blah ..."

To which the darker complexioned Tart retorted -- "You F_ _ _ _ HAOLE -- You Muddah iz White .... blah, blah, blah ..."

There's a lot of holier-than-thou blather being upchucked by the MAJORITY of Talking Heads in this threat. Few seem Schmart enough to realize that an intolerance of being, acting, thinking different is at the core of all society's ills.

But each & every one of the Salon-Upchuckers ought to sober to the fact that Bigotry has existed in every niche of every society since the day Alley-Oop bopped his neighboring cave dweller on the noggin with his club. Esquimos, Incans, Ruskies, Polynesians --- all have had bones to collectively pick with "THEM" ---

Even the Darker Asante who, rather than traditionally massacre the recently bested village of lighter skinned Hausa, opted to "make a quick buckskin" by sparing the lives of the victims and selling the chattel off to Portugese or Muslim slavetraders.

So some things like Slavery & Bigotry never leave the human animal --- Predatory Pimps and their marketing $$ of enslaved human flesh abound not so far from any one of your curbside mailboxes.

Each & every day Bigotry seethes from the various threads of Salon postings -- but none would admit their own guilt any more than some Dixicrat from 1950s Paducah would.

So-- "How much will white racism hurt Obama?" -- Its as naive to belief that bigotry wouldn't be injected in as many poll booths in Harlaam in say --- Talahassee --- or Frisco.

BIGOT: 1) "A person who is utterly INTOLERANT of ANY differing creed, BELIEF, or OPINION."

INTOLERANT: 1) "NOT RESPECTING BELIEFS, OPINIONS, usages, manners, etc. DIFFERING from One's Own."

BIGOTRY: 1) "The condition of a bigot. Obstinate and unenlightened attachment to a particular creed, OPINION, system or PARTY." (dictionary doesn't mention which Party).

Is it not therefore safe to say that there is not a single Contributor or Upchucker to the SALON chatterbox who can step up and tell the rest of us that He or She is NOT a BIGOT? ---

(...pause ...... cricket, cricket, cricket ...)

SALON CHATTERER No.312: "Pssst... Hey, let's just ignore Senor Soup's 'troubling, uncomfortable question.'

SALON UPCHUCKER No.008: "Yeah, he's (she's) just trying to trick us into 'thinking'.

SALON BUBBLEHEAD No.4,726: "I wish Jimmy Carter were here --- HE'D tell us what to do!!"

SALON DRAGQUEEN No.1: [holds his (her) pitter-pattering heart] "....sigh..."
